Bury Me In Yellow

March 12, 2008

FINALLY!
I've put a melody to some of my lyrics XD
Here's the song:

Bury me in yellow and throw a big parade
Hand out cotton candy and relive the last decade
I want to see no one crying as I head into the sky
All I want is laughter that shoots up 10 miles high

Funerals are celebrations
So why must we all cry?
Let’s live the way of the Africans
And sing them to the sky.
Funerals are celebrations
So why must we all cry?
Let’s live the way of the Africans
And sing them to the sky

Bury me in orange and throw a tidy ball
Get those funny men on stilts standing 8 feet tall
I want to see no one crying as I fly into the sky
All I want is laughter that meets me 10 miles high

Funerals are celebrations
So why must we all cry?
Let’s live the life of the Africans
And dance them to the sky
Funerals are celebrations
So why must we all cry?
Let’s live the life of the Africans
And dance them to the sky

Bury me in taffeta pink and throw a fantastic party
Hand out gifts and snacks and love eat a meal so hearty
That everyone is too busy smiling to cry me to the sky
All I want is laughter that nudges me 10 miles high

Funerals are celebrations
We must never cry
Let’s dress up like the Africans
And dance them to the sky
Funerals are celebrations
Who said we should cry?
Let’s party like the Africans
and sing them to the sky.

Ten things

December 15, 2007

Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People:
1. God, I'm so grateful we met way back when. As much as you may not realize it, you were a really big part of my growing up over the years. Our friendship was fairly shallow, you came and went--but you just knew how to listen and how to help me when I needed it. Others considered you weird and annoying sometimes, but that was because they never heard you really speak. And I'm so happy I was one of the few you DID speak to...about more than just Band...at school. And now I'm really glad we've become more than friends. You're the best I could ever hope for, and I hope I don't screw this up.

2. We haven't known each other a very long time, but you were my first REAL friend at school. I didn't even really realize it till last night, but the friends I -did- hang out with just used me. To be their puppet or guinea pig for experiments. And you really helped show me that I can be more than that. And because of that I've managed to respect myself a little more. You don't realize how much I value our relationship sometimes, but that's o.k. We'll both come to some understanding soon. You're my best friend, and remember, I'm a listener. Vent when you need to k? But stop worrying about your weight! YOU ARE GORGEOUS. >< Gah. I luff you

3. I am SO glad we aren't friends anymore. You used me like a puppet and tested me like an experiment. Our relationship was shallow, but I hung on because, honestly, you were my only friend at the time. I didn't seem to realize until we grew apart how much you hurt me. I was depressed half of last year BECAUSE of you. Because of your lack of acknowledgment and constant disappointment over NOTHING. Thank GOD we aren't to the point where I depend on your approval every day at school anymore. I'm not your clone, and I'm proud.

4. You are possibly the only woman I would go gay for :p. I love you beyond reason and I hope our friendship stays strong. You have a really interesting perspective on life and I love to hear your side of things. And I know you have my back when people are being b**chy, and I have yours.

5. I'm really happy we're friends. I mean, you can be the world's biggest asshole (gomen) sometimes, but you're still cool. And funny. And you make my friends laugh. As maddie said, I think you're a keeper.

6. I love watching you grow up. I mean, you're only 4 1/2, but you're so bloody cute. And I really hope we keep our friendship strong. I want to watch you grow old and have kids. I love you lil' sis.

7. You may not think I appreciate you as much as others, but I appreciate you more. You've raised me to not show my emotions when I'm around you, because they upset you. I've finally figured it out, and try to keep it to myself. But it seems to be backfiring on me, seeing as how you can't see how much I love you. I wish I could find a happy medium.

8. Gah, you're a B****

9. Haha, even though your voice rarely has ANY emotional inflictions, you still make me laugh. You're the weirdest person I know, without even being weird. I love the fact we're friends. You've played a big part in my life for 7 years, and I don't want to stop that.

10. We don't know each other very well, but I value our short friendship. I love to email you and I can't wait until we get each other's pen-letters. I love to read the warmth in your letters, and I know how dedicated you are to your friends. I hope we become really close over the years, and that I can see you sometimes!

Nine Things About Yourself:
1. I watch lips. It's not a sign of disrespect, it's how I learned to speak. I have issues understanding what you're saying if I'm reading your eyes, unless I love you, I trust you, or we're in an interview.
2. I still get nervous on stage. I've been doing it for years, but everyone seems to think I'm a ball of courage. Nope. I melt right after.
3. I'm really selfish sometimes. I'm sorry, but I have my moments in which I really do wish the world revolved around me for 4 or so minutes. And I'm sorry I act that way a lot nowadays. It's what happens when you don't focus on yourself 24/7 for over 5 years.
4. I. Love. Kaufman. If you make fun of my town, my friends or my sometimes-accent, I will BEAT. YOU. DOWN. Never make fun of a small-town girl. I've got a lot of pride. Suck it.
5. I'm freakishly indecisive. Sorry guys.
6. When I get nervous or frustrated, I might cry. Don't worry, it's just letting out emotions. Hug me, though. Even if I tell you not to. Okay? It lets' me know you care.
7. I do believe in God, I just don't shove the bible down everyone's throat like some do.
8. I want to touch as many lives as I can. Even if it is just with a hug when they're down.
9. I love making people happy. I used to be known as a people-pleaser because I devoted my life to that. I realized I can't do that and be happy as well, but if we can compromise, that'd be great :D

Eight Ways To Win My Heart:
1. LISTEN TO ME
2. Care about me
3. Let me be who I want to be. You don't have to like what I like, but let me be myself.
4. Be a true friend. And get ready to hug a lot--it's how I grew up (Smalltowns=lotso'hugs)
5. Don't be afraid to be idiotic or seize the day.
6. Play with my hair, please? :D
7. Don't cheat, don't lie, don't think you can get away with it.
8. Love yourself too

Six Things You Wish You Never Did: (Someone else said 1-6, but I agree)
1. There's no point in wishing I never did something when it's already happened.
2. The past is in the past now.
3. And I do believe it should stay that way.
4. I live in today.
5. Strive for a better future.
6. And never lose sight of myself.
[^^ Stolen from Maddie, thank youuu!)
Five Turn Offs:
1. Being oblivious to things I care about
2. Immaturity.
3. Any signs of being abusive
4. Cheating
5. The whole "Men are better than women" attitude. Pisses me off. D:

Four Turn Ons:
1. Humor
2. Cute smile
3. Groomed.
4. Talent

Three Smileys That Describe Your Life:
1. :D
2. XD
3. D:

Two Things You Want To Do Before You Die:
1. Meet some of my heroes
2. Do something important that will be remembered at least by 1 person.

One Confession:
I get bummed out really easily, and I take most of what people say to heart. But I can bounce back quickly if I'm allowed to vent, and listen to my music, and just laugh with friends about boob-sizes (Well, not just that, but it seems to be a reoccuring topic, XDD)

Dinosaurs and Rubber Ducks

November 20, 2007

Fairly pointless "How I am now" blog:

Basically I'm content. Off-and-on sicknesses suck, though.
Jacob has been getting increasingly sicker since about 2 weeks into our relationship. Maybe I'm some kind of virus....o.o
Whatever.
School's going pretty well. I mean, spare the idiotic-ness of certain teachers (who do not need to be named, but are obvious to anyone who knows me...)
I'm doing well grade-wise I think ^^. Ummm
Theatre classes are spare to none...D,: The only one I have is Acting Problems
But that's okay. At least it's Flex, so I'm not going every-other-day with no cluster classes AT ALL.
That would suck...
ANYWAYS
Working on some more lyrics. I wish I had a more musical mind to put a melody to them.....T.T
Any help is always appreciated. My most recent songs are in this Blog...some aren't posted for personal reasons, others because they've yet to be translated, and others because I'm too lazy to post them :p
...Eeh...
I'm doing pretty well in my language studies, I think.
Learning new Japanese phrases/characters pretty much every day (Thank you Zach, Kiwi and others)
I think I've gotten the hang of French
And IPA is ubereasy, and not really a language so.. :)
Only think I wish I could do, right now, is change some relationship statuses that I have.
TOTALLY lost contact with some rather close friends....I wish I could mend them...
I'm not even sure why some people are ignoring me lately.
I mean....I have an idea, but I'm not going to act on it, ya know?
This, honestly, is the most point-lacking blog I've posted.
No rhythm or rhyme....D: Who cares? :o
Ahh

Just a message to broadcast to the world:
If you're having a problem with me, or have had one that you'd like to fix, please confront me. I (most likely) want to fix it too.
Just tell me, kay?
:D

Painting pretty pictures

November 19, 2007

Wish NOT Fulfilled

If I were a painter
I would a paint away the anger
with pretty flowers
and abstract shapes
and oddly-shaped people
who smile fake smiles
and frown fake frowns
made of charcoal and pencil and ink and paints

If I were a dancer
I would dance to tell a story
of life and death
of reoccurring dreams
and imaginary people
who smile fake smiles
and frown fake frowns
made of wrist-flicks and toe-points and leaps and sashays

If I were a musician
I would write a song so blue
you will cry in spite of you
telling of smoky bars
and silly clowns
and drugs and sobriety
and people who smile fake smiles
and frown fake frowns
made of candies and words and bribes and money

Painting pictures of imaginary things
Dancing dances of imaginary scenes
Singing songs of imaginary friends
Living in my own imaginary world
with people and things that smile fake smiles
and frown fake frowns
made of charcoal and wrist-flicks and money and life.

November 18, 2007

Okay, so it has come to my attention that a lot of people think that my obsession with Japan is just a phase.
Hell, the fact that I like Japan has, apparently, given some people actual REASON to hate me.
Could someone please tell me the logic in this?

So, to clear the air on certain viewpoints of mine, I'm going to address a few of the more "pressing" (i.e. obvious) reasons behind why certain people dislike my taste. And please, don't tell me something is wrong. Unless I claim it as fact, this is all opinion. Okay? Alright.

1. Japanese Music
There are a few reasons why I like Japanese music better than American music.
For one thing, there really is no "cover" scene.
A lot of today's artists are too *ahem* artistically drained to come up with their own music or lyrics. So, naturally, they take old one-hit-wonders and remix them to make them sound more modern, and with their voice.
I have yet to run across a cover of an earlier Japanese song.
Spare "Requiem" and "Dear...from XXX" But Miyavi was IN the band that performed them first, so, honestly, I think he's an exception (That law goes for any American singers that had done covers of songs from bands they were in)
Also, I like the feel I get from Japanese music. (Rock, not pop) If I were to ask you to listen to "Akuro no Oka" and then had you tell me what you thought the song was about, I bet you would hit it right on the nail. Most of the music that I listen to conveys whatever feeling and message they have through their voice alone. (You don't have to understand the language to know what the singer is trying to say.
It just helps -_^ )
That is rare among American artists. (And don't you dare argue that one.)

2. Fashion
Okay, this one is a given.
Japanese Street-Fashion is BEYOND creative. It entrances me, and captivates me.
It's amazing what these people come up with. It can range from cute to EXCRUCIATINGLY scary. Seriously.
The basic "style" of Japanese Street-fashion IS to have no "style"
So, when you look at me strangely when I walk down the street with clashing patterns, colors and insane hair....remember that I dare to be different.
American Fashion, however, has become VERY stereotyped.
Go to Hot Topic to find the dwindling Gothic clothing, or the ever-growing "scene" style clothing (Honestly, Scene is like a cheap rip-off of Street Fashion, but too afraid to be weird)
Go to A&F or Hollister for the "preppy" style.
Go to Walmart for the "gangsta" style (I'm not kidding, guys.)
Go to Spencers for the "skater" look. If coupled with Hot Topic, you can become "emo" or a toned-down version of "scene"
Am I getting my point across?
Us, as Americans, are lacking in creativity when it comes to fashion. Of course the stuff on the runway can get pretty insane, but who the heck is going to pay $1,000 for a paper-bag dress?

3. School/Education
Alright.
Here are a couple of stereotypes that we, sadly, fill out in at LEAST a quarter of our classes.
Enter a room full of American students.
What do you see?
That's right. You see kids slouching, paying NO attention to the teacher. Papers EVERYWHERE. Absolutely NO discipline. The teacher has given up on even -trying- to teach, and has retired to his corner to go to check his MYSPACE. The few kids that are attempting to LEARN something are frustrated beyond belief, and are searching relentlessly through their books for answers to questions, whilst the kids around them are screaming and disturbing the few classes that actually CARE.
Enter a room full of Japanese students (This is based on my 2 penpals, gomen if it isn't ALWAYS correct.)
What do you see?
You see kids doing work, studying whilst the teacher is giving a lecture.
You see at LEAST a couple of them taking notes, and a few are zoning out (oh well)
Most of the kids actually LOOK interested in what the teacher says, and are paying attention with at least 3/4 of their brain-function. They are QUIET. They are NOT GOOFING OFF. All of the classes have at least semi-attentive students taking notes or registering what the teacher is saying in a little file-cabinet in the back of their brains.

See how the Japanese actually CARE a little bit?
Hell, you stick an American-taught kid, and a Japanese-taught kid,
give them a difficult-ish question.
I wonder who answers correctly...FIRST.
Ding ding ding. Japanese.

4. I WAS BORN THERE
Of course I'm going to be at least SEMI interested in a place that I was BORN in.
Most of you have lived in Dallas/Irving/Copell/Kaufman/Terrell/[insert your town] for the vast majority of your life. IF NOT ALL OF IT.
If you were born in Dallas, and then moved to England when you were 5, wouldn't you be interested in American culture?
Of course you would!

Geez.

Okay, that was a lame argument.
But whatever.

Spektor

November 10, 2007

Was amazing. Seriously. Like, beyond amazing.
So was her opening act-Only Son.
He came out, uber drunk. Hillarious. Had a talking iPod (ask me some other time)...yeah, amazing. His music was kinda slow, but I liked it...was very good, I thought.
Regina came out UBER late (Only Son came out about an hour after starting time, and then Regina half an hour to an hour after him) ...yeah, Uber late.
But we didn't care.
She started out with "Aint no cover" ..no introduction, no "hello" she just got up to the mic and sang au capella. 'Twas amazing. I love her voice.
Then she went to the piano and played a few songs including On the Radio, Buildings, Blue Lips, Love Affair, Sailor song, Baby Jesus (Hillarious, seriously and she like--ATE the microphone. Pahaha) and some others. And after every two or three songs she'd say "Thank you" or "Thank you for coming to my show" Seriously, NO ONE in that audience didn'g go "AWW" every time. She's so adorable. Then she got up and played "That Time" and "Bobbin' for Apples" (All the family-like units left after that. I can understand, with lines like "Someone next door is F***ing to one of MY songs" But, seriously. They should have known she isn't kid-friendly. w~) on the bass guitar. They were amazinggreat. Then she went back and played some more songs including Us, Feild Below, Apres Moi, Summer in the City, a dedicated Samson (To her friend Aaron, who isn't alive anymore. But it was his birthday, so she felt it was only right to dedicate to it) and a few that I didn't recognize (I'm still kind of new to her music...whatever) and then she ran off..and everyone was like "NOO~~~" so she came back on and played Ghost of Corporate Future, Chemo Limo, Uh-Merica (We all got to go "UH!" and the lights would go on whilst saying it--so she stopped and said something along the lines of "Omigod! Lights! I CAN SEE YOU!!" She was excited and giggled. It was hillarious) and then a sing-along version of Fidelity (She sped up the ending "And it breaks my heart" since there's like...50billion XD) and then for her finale, she pulled out Only Son and they did an au capella/beat-box version of Hotel Song. Pure Amazing. She even tried to beatbox and started doing some weird car-alarm sounds. It was SO adorable... Seriously. Nyaw~

Haha, and at one point of time, we were all screaming and this guy in the back was like "SHUT THE F*** up!!" And some uber drunk girl near me yelled back something along the lines of 'Why don't you' and finished it with a VERY loud "Thats why your in the F***ing back!!" Regina cracked up. It was so cute. She then said "You know, they say Texans are wild...*crowdcheer*...startin' brawls...gettin' drunk.....(pause) Makin babies..." Now, if you've ever heard her talk, you'd know why this was so freakishly hillarious.
We all cracked up. Amazingx5

I almost bought a T-shirt there, but I realized that if I got it off her site, I can just buy it for like..$10 less on her site. So, I'm gonna do that soonish. XD
I went home and bought all the CD's i didn't have and downloaded all kinds of Lives, so that I could get her un-recorded stuffz. Yush ^^ *arm pump*

Life is amazing.
Regina
Equals (=)
Pwn.
Seriously.
